FM should make regions have more importance in the game.
Football is a regional game and many teams, players, fans form their identity around their specific regions but the way the game currently works doesn't really have a way of representing that.
I suggest that we should be given a similar selection of editor controls for regions that we do for nations.
Having a feature like this would make it so regions like Catalonia, the Basque region, Madeira Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, etc, etc could have regional teams that don't supersede the actual national team too (like Catalonia's national team) but still serve a function to represent the regional identity. Making graphics like county flags would also be pretty cool, along with a region overviews (similar to nation overviews) that could display all local clubs and players.
Since the game is so limited in terms of depicting the geography of where you actually are in the world when you are managing a team, something like this could help in that aspect and give your save more character.
Also I need to say, it would save editors a lot of effort in having to make regions from scratch with a pre-existing FM database nation.
I've spent so much time making Norfolk, Catalonia, Bahia, etc in the game.
(also pretty please SI...bring back the add nation button)

I made a separate nation for Norfolk just so I could play a save where I could search and sign Norfolk players with Norwich City.
It should be easier than that to have a local challenge on your game but the game is pretty limited in these aspects.
It'd be nice to have a team like Bilbao where you're forced to develop your own players but it's difficult to achieve in game, especially since you need to create an entirely new nation just to enforce a locally based transfer policy.
